Proposal: Consensus rule to recover 79,956 BTC stolen from MtGox

Ain't no way you proposed this. It's a radioactive bomb ready to go off.

Even though you have a point, the negative far outweighs the positives and all for what? To add an additional 79,956 BTC sell pressure. The sell pressure isn't that much ib the grand scheme of things but the ripple effects if this gets approved will be disastrous for Bitcoin and the entire crypto community.

The single biggest issue with this proposal is that it increases plenty of attack surfaces for bitcoin. I'd like to know what OP stands to gain if this gets passed.

There was a transaction that satoshi didn't like and it got reversed.

So this argument is historically void.

Fixing a bug, glitch, vulnerability et cetera is smart.  Changing the protocol, the fundamental values of a successful Asset because some people used it the wrong way is very stupid.  That was not a 'Transaction' that got reversed, it was a vulnerability that would have made Bitcoin immediately worth zero being fixed.

Excuse my language but fuck the 79,956 Bitcoin Sell pressure, it would come along with my Bitcoin and the rest of the people who would immediately move to another Asset that continues to respect its fundamental values.  If I want an Asset that keeps having its game rules changed, I would simply stick to dirty Fiat in a Bank account.

No. Create your own fork if you want this.

This is the correct and only answer. There is no need for discussion. If you want it, do it. That's the easy part. The hard part will be getting the rest of the world, both miners and nodes, to adopt your fork.

If there is an exchange that will adopt it, then I will gladly adopt your fork for the amount of time it takes to dump all of my new forked coins on whoever will pay me for them.

Spent over 2 hours on the emergence of this matter, just to understand the depth of the fraud you orchestrated, and now it's clear what this is all about. I'll never understand this: Op has plenty of options to the recovery of the hacked coins, yet stealing them (technically) is the best of all?? Just go ahead and create a forked version. If it's not your keys, it's not your coin!

This is one of those moments where you wonder how someone who has already done enormous damage to Bitcoin is proposing an idea to make Bitcoin a shitcoin. When he already has a hard fork in mind[...]

He then proceeded to say this:

I'm not trying to disguise that fact or sneak it through as something else

This man feels like he has a way with words, that he can reappear after several years to make such a specious proposal.

I'd like to know what OP stands to gain if this gets passed.

Seems interesting.... Op??
